Hello from California! I am with Alicia waiting for her new baby girl to be born! Since today is the first day of Fall, we are all working together on our Friday Fave post for our favorite season. I know that some people feel like Fall is the favorite holiday of too many people, so they want to be different. Or, maybe they don't like pumpkin or pumpkin pie spice. But, around here at 3 Winks, we love the fall for so many reasons. So, today's Friday Fave question is perfect for us:

What is your favorite thing about Fall?

It was funny because when I asked my girls this question, Alicia and Lindsey each gave me an almost identical response. They both said that in the Fall there are a lot of things to celebrate and reasons to get together with family. We have an extra abundance of reasons to get together in our family because all 3 of my daughters and one of my daughters-in-law have birthdays in October. Then, there is Halloween, Veteran's Day and Thanksgiving. As Lindsey put it, Fall signifies the start of the holiday season! You bake yummy food and spend more time with family. In many places, not necessarily in Phoenix, the world changes color and the air is crisp and wonderful! You get to start wearing scarves and gloves.
I was surprised that the first thing that Lindsey mentioned wasn't pumpkins! If you read Renny's Recipes on Thursdays, you know of her love of all things pumpkin and pumpkin pie spice. It was heart warming to see that she and Alicia thought of family first! But, Lindsey did mention that in the Fall she can eat pumpkin things without being judged!
Maddy also surprised me. I thought that she would mention Halloween first since she loves Halloween. That isn't surprising because her whole childhood she had Halloween themed birthday parties. But, actually the first thing she said that she loves about the season is making Fall crafts. You can see examples of her crafts here and here!

Here is what I love about Fall.

The weather starts to cool off so there are so many things you feel like doing that you couldn't do all summer, like take walks and bake!

I also love all of the reasons to get together with family and friends!

Just like Maddy, I love the fun fall crafts that make everywhere look like a magical place! Here are some crafts for this season that we have done in the past, here, here and here.

You get to start eating so many good comfort foods that you don't eat in the summer because it is too hot, like soup, apple cider or Hot Cocoa Bombs! (Speaking of Hot Cocoa Bombs, be sure to snag the free booklet on our printables page while you can, because soon it will not be free anymore! More developments are coming!)

Because we love Fall so much, we decided to make a print to celebrate the season and share it with you, our readers! We collected all of the things that we love about the Fall and put them into one beautiful reminder created by Alicia! We hope that you love it!

Your favorites are mine, too! :) I guess if I had to pick one "favoritist" thing about fall, it would just be the cozy factor: cozy clothes, cozy fires, cozy foods, cozy air. I am ALL about the cozy. (See, "why summer is not my favorite.") Happy fall to you...stopping by from #Coffee&Conversation!

Visiting from Coffee and Conversation. I love fall too. October is my birthday month and I started a tradition of doing a photo a day. My favorite thing about fall is pumpkin everything. Your printable is so cute. Thanks for sharing.

What a lovely fall printable, Helen! The colours are lovely and it's very evocative. Thank you so much for sharing it with us at the Hearth and Soul Link Party. Sharing on the H&S FB page. Hope you are having a lovely week!

Lots of people love fall as it is the cooling down period after the hot days of summer. For me though, I wish we could have summer all year! Just this morning I could tell a change in the air, the trees and leaves look different and the temp was lower. Thank you Helen for linking up at the #BloggingGrandmothersLinkParty. I shared your post on Pinterest and Twitter.
